With two big tasks before AR Murugadoss getting completed by this month, the director is expected to start his next film soon, for which he would join hands with Ilayathalapathy Vijay for the first time.

"Murugadoss's maiden production venture Engeyum Eppodhum is seeing the light of the day on September 16. Six days after that, the much awaited audio launch of his 7aam Arivu will take place on September 22," sources say.

Though the Suriya-starrer is scheduled to release in the last week of October for Deepavali, the director will be technically free from September last week itself. So he would start the Vijay-starrer in October for sure, they add.

Meanwhile, Murugadoss has started aggressive promotion campaigns for 'Engeyum Eppodhum', which is produced by him by joining hands with Hollywood giant Fox Star. Directed by his former associate Saravanan, the film has Jai, Anjali, Sharvanand and Ananya in lead roles.
